Crankbaits=LOVE

Featured Replies

Last week i posted about my day where i found a few spots on a drop off that were amazing. Well today i went back out there and starting throwing DT 14s, DT 20s, and DD20s. My first cast i hooked into a HOG. I fought it for a few minutes until it showed her pretty self off before spitting the hook. I could have gotten discouraged, but i continued to throw numerous colors and depths, all producing. I caught ten bass, including a 5lb bass and the 40 in muskie shown below. I am so addicted to deep cranking i don't think i'm going back to anything else!

appreciate the info vinny. using crankbaits is probably my weak point as far as bassin goes. but its something that has been on my mind to learn & throw more.

I was in your position only a short time ago, but one thing i have taken from this past week of fishing was that 90% of crainkbait fishing is technique, not the color or lure you are using. One member told me that, but i never thought that could be until i noticed when they were biting almost all my crainks were working and vice versa.

Way to go Vinny. Yea I'm tossing more cranks myself, never no DT's though. I need to jump on some especially for deep diving. Wow muskie, god I might just have to take a trip to new river or something for them.

By the way where's the platoon? Got yourself another boat?

Looks like tiger muskie.  Nice catches!

Nice eye endless! My toon is out of commission so im using my neighbors 12 foot aluminum!

After using that boat today it just motivates me even more to get my tracker!

That's nice of him. Did he go too?

Sucks your platoon down. How long you think that's down? I'm trying to get my tri-haul going. Been down too long 3 years.

Nope, just me all day. It will probably be down the rest of the summer  :(

That sucks. Well hope you get it up and running. Who took the pics? I know I'm going to get me a tripod for my cam so I can get full pics of me and my catches since I go alone most of time.

Its actually a battery pack, but i should have known better. The camera i am using is actually my old one that i replaced! I guess i will just stick to that one.

40 in musky!?!?!? NICE! BUt how can you only have tiger musky? They are a hybrid of a pike and regular musky, are they stocked their?

Yes sir!

Used to hate crankbaits.Now i LOVE them  ;D i prefer shallow running crankbaits and lipless crankbaits. Sometimes when the tulle bite dies at the delta,you go to the levees and rock piles and slay em on crankbaits
